Great Winter Getaway Ideas: The Catskills

Winter is a magical season in the Catskills! An easy drive from New York City leads to a
wonderland of snow-covered mountains, family-friendly resorts, and
old-fashioned train rides. Follow country roads to charming villages dotted
with antique shops, art galleries, craft studios and innovative restaurants.

Ski areas feature
varied terrain-from beginner trails to black diamonds. Along
with skiing and snowboarding, there's snowtubing and sky-high ziplines. Step
off the slopes, and it's a short trip to cozy inns and mountaintop luxury.

This scenic route follows a loop from, and back towards,
the New York State Thruway.

natural wellness treatments in a tranquil mountain setting, is another lovely
place to relax-and a habitat for deer, hawks and other wildlife.
